I tried to get it to work, but am still getting the same error message as before:
"Could not send command - device not connected"
"Command: AVR~Power~Standby"
"Sx: PWSTANDBY"
"TCP/IP Slot is 0"
"Could not send command. Device not connected"

IP Port is set to 23 as suggested by Dave earlier.

I know the receiver (3808 CI) is correctly connected to the network as I can ping the IP address, as well as get to the Denon's web server.

I had some success with getting the Denon plug-in to work, but this one problem is driving me nuts. I desperately need help to get this working.

I am using the latest version and connecting via IP.

Upon opening MLServer, the Denon variables (Power, Z1 Power etc) are generated – but only if the receiver is already on. If the receiver is off, no variables are generated, and the event log generates an error “Could not connect to receiver via IP within allotted time”. Does this mean that the receiver always needs to be on???

The following test command to turn power off works, as do other commands:

AV.Denon AVR 3808 CI|Power~Standby

However the Power “On” command DOES NOT work after receiver has been put on Standby mode – I believe because it does not recognize the receiver if it is off.

How do we solve this problem? I could not find anything in wiki or the forum about this.

Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem and I believe there is a setting to take the receiver out of power saver mode. When in power saver mode the receiver totally shuts off instead of really going into standby. That fixed my similar issue with a 4308CI.
